ReactJS navbar will not load 100%

Question

I am trying to add a navbar to my ReactJS website and I am trying to add a navbar to my website.
It need the navbar to be on 100% width. I tried using 'width: 100%;'. But it will not make the header 100% .
Here is my Code:

ReactJS:

import React from 'react';

import './Header.css';

function Header() {
    return (
        <nav className="header">
            <a href="#">Home</a>
            <p>   </p>
            <a href="#">About</a>
            <p>   </p>
            <a href="#">Projects</a>
            <p>   </p>
            <a href="#">Resume</a>
       </nav>
    )
}

export default Header;

CSS:

.header > a {
  background-color: #171A25;
  text-decoration: none;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  word-spacing: 33px;
}
.header {
    background-color: #171A25;
    align-items: center;
    word-spacing: 33px;
    padding: 1em 1.5em;
}

Answer 1

Just remove the <p> tags.

 .header > a { background-color: #171A25; text-decoration: none; color: white; text-align: center; word-spacing: 33px; } .header { background-color: #171A25; align-items: center; // justify-content: space-around; // display: flex; word-spacing: 33px; padding: 1em 1.5em; }

 <nav class="header"> <a href="#">Home</a> <a href="#">About</a> <a href="#">Projects</a> <a href="#">Resume</a> </nav>
